Client server architecture

 Client server architecture

Client-server architecture is distributed model representing dispersed responsibilities among independent computers integrated across a network. Therefore, it's easy to replace, repair, upgrade and relocate a server while client remains unaffected.


Advantages of Client-Server Architecture:

Organizations often seek  opportunities to maintain services and quality competition to sustain its market position with the help of technologies. Deployment of client-server computing in an organization will effectively increase its productivity through the usage of  cost-effective user interface, enhanced data storage, vast connectivity and reliable application services
  • Improved Data Sharing: 
Data is retained by usual business processes and manipulated on a server is available for designated users (clients) over an authorized access.
  • Integration of Services: 
Every client is given the opportunity to access corporate information via desktop interface eliminating the necessity to log into a terminal mode or processor. 
  • Shared Resources Amongst Different Platforms: 
Application used for client-server model is built regardless of the hardware platform or technical background of the entitled software (operating system software) providing an open computing environment, enforcing users to obtain the services of clients and servers (database, application and communication services)
  • Data Processing Capability Despite the Location: 
Client-server users can directly log into a system despite of the location or technology of the processors.
  • Easy Maintenance: 
Client-server architecture is distributed model representing dispersed responsibilities among independent computers integrated across a network. Therefore, it's easy to replace, repair, upgrade and relocate a server while client remains unaffected. This unaware change is called as Encapsulation.
  • Security: 
Servers have better control access and resources to ensure that only authorized clients can access or manipulate data and server updates are administered effectively.


 1. Monolithic architecture

2.    Layerd archtecture.

3.     Virtual machine architecture

4.     Exokernel architecture

5.    Client server architecture 


6.     Micro kernel architecture

Disadvantages of Client-Server Architecture.
  • Overloaded Servers: 
When there are frequent simultaneous client requests, server severely get overloaded, forming traffic congestion.
  • Impact of Centralized Architecture: 
Since it is centralized, if a critical server failed, client requests are not accomplished. Therefore, client-server lacks the robustness of a good network.

Multilevel Feedback queue scheduling (MFQ)

  Multilevel Feedback queue scheduling (MFQ) ·          Multilevel feedback queue scheduling is an enhancement of multi-levelqueue scheduling. In this scheme, processes can move between the different queue ·          The various processes are separates in different queue on the basis of their CPU Burst Char characteristics ·          If a process consumes a lot of CPU time , it is placed into a lower priority queue. Thus I/O bound and interactive process are placed in the higher priority queue and CPU bound pricesses are in lower priority ·          If a processes waits too long in a lower priority queue it is moved higher priority queue. Such an aging prevents starvation. ·          The top priority queue is given smallest CPU time Quantum ·      ...

ENTERPROCESS COMMUNICATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION

      ENTERPROCESS COMMUNICATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION ·          In multi programming environment multiple process co-exit . a single   program may be broken into number of processes. ·          The process are classified into two categories : independent processes and cooperating processes. ·          An independent process is a standalone process that does not share any data with any other process. It cannot affect or be affected by the other processes executing   in the system. In other words, the modification made to an independent process does not affect the functioning of other process. ·          A cooperating processes is a process that shares data with other processes in a system it can affect or be affectedly the other processes executing in the system ·      ...

Round Robin

   Round Robin ·          Round robin Scheduling is similar to FCFS but preemption is addede to switch between processes. ·          In RR scheduling, processes are dispatched in FIFO but given a small amount of CPU time. This small amount of CPU time this small amount of time is known as time quantum or time slice. A time quantum is generally from 10 to 100 milliseconds ·          If a process does not complete before its time slice expires, the CPU is time slice and is given to the next waiting process in ready queue. ·          The preempted process in then places at the   tail of the ready queue. ·          If a process is completed before its time slice expires, the process itself release the CPU. The scheduler then proceeds to the next process in ready queue. ...

Multi Level Queue Scheduling (MLQ)

  Multi Level Queue Scheduling (MLQ) ·          Multilevel queue scheduling classifies the processes according to their types for example, a multilevel queue scheduling algorithm makes a common. ·          In this scheduling ready queue is divided into various queue that are called sub queues. A subqueue is a distinct operational queue ·          The process are permanently assigned to subqueues, generally based on some property of the process such as memory size,priority or process type ·          Each subqueue has its process sucheduling algorithm. For example interactive process at the foreground may use round robin scheduling while batch jobs at the background may use the FCFS method ·          For example, consider a system with four different queues 1.   ...

Direct Communicationand Indirect communication

  Direct Communication ·          Direct communication establishes a link between two processes. A communication link is a unidirectional path along which information flows. ·          two processes use single communication link to share information. ·          In this   metod, there cannot be more that one link between two processes                                                     direct communication ·          Send and receive function used in direct communication are given below : ·          Send(process name , message ,(receive(process name , message)             Send(A, message...
